🚙 WELCOME WESTON 🚙

Our last baby of the year arrived at the end of October. This mom, dad, doula (and even birth assistant) offered nonstop hands on support through the night and into the next. The team worked seamlessly and mom never complained; just listened to her body and followed its lead every step of the way.

Late into the afternoon, just before 24 hours of labor, the decision was made to change birth locations. Along with their doula, mom and dad moved their labor into the hospital where they found patient and attentive staff. They labored for an additional 18 hours at the hospital before baby Weston made his appearance.

Midwifery care isn’t about birth location. While we always want clients to give birth in their chosen location, it’s imperative that we have good transport plans in place and supportive providers to transfer to. We are so thankful for them and positive transfers.

Welcome Weston! You’re growing so well and we can’t wait to see your cheeks grow even bigger. 💗
